The decade that has changed Emerging Markets

The last 10 years has been transformational for Emerging markets; their economies have grown, poverty levels have gone down and, in some cases, extreme poverty has been eradicated. On the business side, their companies, mainly from China and Korea but also from India, Mexico or Brazil, have made inroads globally and have made major acquisitions globally. On the innovation front, emerging markets have increased patent applications and investments in research anddevelopment. EMI’s annual conference in November 2020 will celebrate the institute 10thanniversary and focus on the achievements of emerging markets over the last ten years. EMI was born in 2010 in theaftermath of the Global Financial crisis. A decadelater in 2020, emerging markets are faced with yet another global crisis and this is an opportune moment for the EMI Annual Conference to explore how emerging markets will not just cope with the Covid-19 crisis but also emerge stronger to shape the globalfuture.
